Question 1

What is SmartRecall AI?

Accepted Answer

SmartRecall AI is an AI-powered flashcard tool that turns PDFs, lecture notes, and textbooks into spaced-repetition decks using the SM-2 algorithm.

Question 2

Is SmartRecall AI free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A free tier lets you generate and review flashcards. Paid tiers unlock higher AI quotas and advanced analytics.

Question 3

How does spaced repetition work in SmartRecall?

Accepted Answer

SmartRecall uses the SM-2 algorithm — the same scientifically-validated scheduler behind SuperMemo and Anki — to surface each card at the optimal interval based on how easy or hard you found it.

Question 4

Can I import my own PDFs and notes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload a PDF, paste text, or import notes. SmartRecall extracts key concepts and generates multiple flashcard types automatically.

Question 5

How is SmartRecall different from Anki?

Accepted Answer

Anki requires you to write every card by hand. SmartRecall reads your source material with AI and generates cards for you, while keeping the same SM-2 spaced-repetition science.
